The ISO Latin-1 Character Set
Unfortunately, not everyone uses a Macintosh, so not everyone has access to the
Macintosh character set. The character sets that other computers use vary greatly.
Most of them use character sets that are the same as US-ASCII for character codes
from 0 to 127. However, if they provide characters beyond US-ASCII, they often
do so with character codes other than the ones chosen by the Macintosh. That is,
on some computers “é” doesn’t have a character code of 142, but might instead
have a character code of 237. So, if they sent you some text with “André” in it, it
would come out on your screen as “AndrÌ”, which would not be terribly effective.
In order to solve this sort of problem, some standard character sets have been
agreed to. One popular character set is called “ISO Latin-1,” or “ISO-8859-1.”
